Background: Sterility is a common illness that affects 10-15% of couples at some point in their lives. It is a serious clinical, social, and general medical problem.The present study assessed ovarian volume in infertility using spectral color doppler and transvaginal 3D ultrasonography. Materials & Methods: 70 female patients with infertility (35) were put in group I and with pregnancy in (control) group II (35). Basal ovarian volume was measured intravaginally using GE Voluson S8 USG-machine, Logiq p9 USG machine. Results: There were 27 patients in group I and 20 in group II in the age group of 21-33 years and 8 in group and 15 in group II in the age group of 34-39 years. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Ovarian volume less than 11.75 cc was seen in 360 patients in group I and 26 patients in group II. Ovarian volume (in cc) of more than or equal to 11.75 was seen in 5 patients in group while 9 patients in group II. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: For females in the reproductive age range, ovarian volume can be utilized as a predictor of infertile status. |
